'-_~.__ • -8 SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. not merely momentous but frightful, if it shall ap pear that in many of the boroughs remodified under this Bill, the spirit of factious polities has been tainting the motives of the borough councils, and the entire process of election .to the magistraq ; that justices of the peace have been named 'by them, and submitted for approbation to the Crown, not with any calm or public-spirited view to their fitness for main; tainin , the public peace, or protecting the lives, pro perties, and rights of individuals, but exclusively be cause of the zeal and violence of their political parti sanship ; and of their presumed tendency to administer the law, not for the ends of justice, but for the interests of a faction, for the crushing of all who are adverse to, or wish to be independent of it ; and for the conse quent sacrifice of the most ancient and sacred of our national institutions to purposes the most op pressive and the vilest. In order, moreover, to carry through this scheme of packing the bench of justice for inquitous objects, it has been deemed ne cessary by the upright ultra-Radicals to expel from of fice gentlemen of unimpeached and exemplary charac ter, who had for a long series of years been employed in a conscientioas discharge of their duties, who by the independence of their fortunes, the integrity of their conduct, their long experience, and sound knowledge of the law, and their temperate and beneficial application of the authority vested in them, had gained a well earned influence over the minds of all respectable men, and had made their exercise of the magistracy a pro tection to the honest, and a terror and obstruction in the way of evil-doers. It is not at random that we hazard these observations. Lord John Russell is by this time well acquainted with facts, Which explain and corroborate them, and were it not for the confidence which, notwithstanding the strong political bias of the Noble Lord, may; we should hope, be firmly placed in his honour and his anxiety for the public peace, we should almost despair of the future preservation of -anything like magisterial purity, or of the possibility of securing the rights of our fellow-citizens through out the newly-constituted jurisdictions from the inces sant inroads of injustice and eventual anarchy. Pro tests, we have reason to know, are pouring in upon the Home Secretary's-office, from boroughs which have been affected by the Municipal Reform Bill, against the choice of magistrates made by the ultra-Radical town councils, which protests are numerously and re spectably signed and transmitted to Government through deputations composed of the persons most distinguished in their several communities for fortune, intelligence, character, and social estimation. The sum of these Several French journals, chiefly of the Republican and Royalist shades, have recently found out that the operations of Russia in the East, as well as her un doubted designs in that quarter, have been much over rated ; that even if she were mistress of the Ottoman empire, no injury would thereby result to France, and that the only Power whose attitude and resources ought to inspire the latter country, with real feat, is nEnerla (1.. It is well understood that these two poli tical parties have never ceased to foster the worst pre judices of their countrymen against us ; having failed • in their attempts to carry their own notions of Govern- Inentlnto practice, and having by thb extravagance of their principles shut themselves out from all the high . paths of public life, they are discontented with all the world ; for us they reserve their most envenomed shafts. They see that their Monarchy has received from our alliance with it material strength, sufficient to 'enable it to face the dangers with which it was menaced from abroad, as well as to quell the factious which conspired against it at home. Break that al liance by any means—rake up old feelings of in ternational animosity—kindle anew the jealousies, the contentions, the hatreds which so long im pelled the two countries into perpetual and sa vage warfare—let the throne of July stand isolated amidst its domestic and external enemies, and then the question will arise, how long can it endure ? This is the point at which the National and the Memorial Bordelais arc exerting themselves to arrive. The ido lators of Henry V. and of Robespierre have combined in the same line of argument and in the same course of policy to attain the same purpose, but with the re solution to convert it to the accomplishment of politi cal consequences as opposite to each other as the two poles. The recent laws passed for the regulation of the Press- , --laws which we sincerely opposed in so far as they interfered with the Jury system, and with the facility of establishing new journals, and even of maintaining those already in existence, were, however, in one respect, measures considered essential to the safety of the State. It was held to be impossible, especially amongst so susceptible a people as the French, to suffer with impunity the publication of articles directly advocating a third restoration on one hand, and an American democracy on the other. These topics having been interdicted, the only course now left open for the irreconcilable enemies of the new dynasty, is to detach it if they can. from England, to fill the minds of. their countrymen with hostility to the English name and connection, and so prepare for the subversion of the present system. But in these efforts they will assuredly fail; for of all the irrational and mischievous schemes with which they have yet endeavoured to soothe their unquiet imaginations, that upon which they are now working for the severance of these two enlightened nations is the most hopeless. The middle classes of France awl those of England are the real arbiters of opinion, the true controllers of the policy by which the two king doms are henceforth to be governed. They know that their best interests are secured by the continuance of those friendly sentiments by which they are at present bound together ; that peace between themselves, ce mented by cordiality, will enable them to pursue their occupations with the greatest advantage, and to defend their interests from danger in every quarter of the world. Our very' neighbourhood, our civilization, our literature, and arts, and commerce, tell us at every step we tread . together, that we are constituted for mutual inviolable friendship, founded on our common freedom and power. From us, Europe, France in particular, has nothing to apprehend. We have no desire to make conquests save those of peace and universal good will. Conciliation on every side is our motto, because it is our interest. We are a trading people—a nation of shop-keepers. High-flown notions of ambition, and romantic views of aggrandisement, have no attrac tion for us. We are a plain practical race, whose hearts may be read by everybody that chooses to in spect them. We-are the worst diplomatists in Eu rope. England has never yet produced a Pozzo di Borgo,_and we venture to predict it never will. France and England united will command the tranquillity of Europe. Let them be separated—England will move in her own orbit still, but France must necessarily become subject to a thousand influences which will disturb her course, and eventually paralyse her autho rity. What is the question between us and Russia ? Is it merely a British, or a British and French ques tion ? Is it not rather an European one ? The freedom of the Dardanelles and Bosphorus is put in peril by a clandestine treaty. As a corol lary to this, we have another danger—the power claimed by Russia under the treaty of Adria nople, to levy•tolls at the mouths of the Danube, to shut it up in fact from the Black Sea. These, surely, are matters quite as pregnant with com mercial and political importance to Austria, France, Naples, Spain, Portugal, to all the old States of the Mediterranean, to the rising States of Moldavia, Wal lachia, and Servia, to Turkey herself, and even to Per sia, as they are to us. Nothing but the maligaity of defeated factions could impute selfishness to England, in preparing the means for resisting and subduing the obstacles thus generating to the free commerce of all nations. Our advanced position, as well as that of France, seem to impose upon the two Governments the duty of taking the iniative in this question. If the French Ministry, accepting counsel from their most inveterate foreign and internal enemies, leave us to,perform that duty alone, they will lose all the moral advantages which they would gain from acting in uni son with us upon the great arena, where the rank of Powers is decided in the estimation of the world. France will fall into the rear of England, whereas we should greatly prefer that she would so far respect herself as to maintain that co-ordinate station with us, to which she is so well entitled from her informed in telligence, and the gallantry that has ever distinguished her people.—Morning Chronicle. _ _ grave applications to the executive power is, that men have been elected justices of the peace, by the town councils, in virtue of no claim, and on no ground what ever but the notoriety and vehemence of their party zeal, nor from any conceivable motive but the expecta tion of their prostituting the functions of the bench to factious purposes : while other persons have been ex cluded from the choice of those virtuous electors, against whom no charge of partiality or unfairness had ever, in any instance, been brought forward, of whose know ledge and capacity there could be entertained no doubt, and whose removal under such extraordinary circum stances must tend' to excite for the future a general and well-founded distrust in the local administration of jus tice.—Times. It is confidently asserted, in circles professing to be informed upon such subjects, that Ministers have, after all, contrived to make their peace with Lord Brougham, and that notwithstanding the events of the last fortnight, which form what some persons would consider a series of successive slights upen the Learned Lord, he will, nevertheless, be found in the ensuing Session, their very faithful humble servant. That such is really the case is more than we are able to affirm. We merely give the rumour as it reached us. A very few days will now serve either to confirm or contradict it. Of Lord Brougham's prodigious powers of mind it would be the height of folly to affect a doubt. Of the kind of compass and discretion by which he guides it, two opinions, however, may be safely entertained. That Lord Brougham was of great service to Minis ters last Session, while out of office, there can be no doubt ; nor is there less, that on more than one occa sion he has damaged them most materially. To oppose them would now — be the most indiscreet - act of Lord . _ We this day give the conclusion of the account o the first Dinner, on Friday, and an account of the second, or Burgess Dinner, on Saturday, at Cam bridge. Mr. Spring Rice's speeches, on both occa sions, were able and judicious. The Right Hon. Gentleman pointed out very happily the. mischiefs which result from delaying concessions till they can no :onger be withheld, instead of meeting at once .the wishes of the people, when their demands are founded on justice. In the one case a feeling of satisfaction is the result ; in the other the worst passions are gene rated, and the people who have been roused by pro tracted injustice to efforts which intimidate their rulers, cannot at once lay aside their angry feelings ; and measures which, if granted in time, or from a proper spirit, would be healing and beneficial, fail to give satisfaction. The lesson is of great importance to men in power. Whenever an abuse is proved, it. should be p r omptly remedied. The system of the Tories, which would oppose all reform to the very last, destroys the kind feelings which ought to subsist between the people and their rulers, and leads the latter to consider the former as in a state of constant hostility to them. We have seen a striking instance of the beneficial results of Municipal Reform. The former Corporators were little better than so many servants of the Duke of Rut land. The present Magistrates are men of wealth and high character, and every way entitled to the respect of their townsmen. Gentlemen like Dr. Lamb, the Rev. G. A. Browne, and other ornaments of the Uni versity, could feel honoured by their society, while they could not have met the tools. of the Duke of Ruland without degrading themselves.— Ai °ruing Chronicle. There is a point of view in which the Municipal Reform Bill had hardly, while under consideration in either House of Parliament, provoked so much earnest or continued discussion as perhaps it would well have home ; nor, if we recollect right, have the anticipations of the practical working of that measure been hitherto. turned with any great anxiety or dilig ence to the branch of the subject which we now would point out, — namely, the provisions made by the Bill for the creation of a local magistracy. Yet is the importance of such provisions, and of their consequences, above all calcula tion to the peace of society, and to the secure enjoy anent of life and property, since the whole administra tien of justice, oftentimes of summary justice, and not rarely without appeal, depends on the magistracy thus appointed. However, the change effected in the selection of local magistrates will be regarded as Brougham's life, especially when we consider that the Conservatives are too strong in the House of Lords to hold out any temptation to Lord Brougham to act a part, of the dishonourable result of which he has be fore him so many striking examples. Notwithstand ing, then, the apparent affronts which have been put upon hiM, he has but one course to pursue—viz., but to continue his support to the party with whom his whole public character has hitherto been identified, un less he were, indeed, to adopt the neutral course of ab senting himself from Parliament till he has seen how the land lies—an alternative which the se ell-known restlessness of his temperament is not very likely to allow him to adopt.—Morning Herald. A few clays more must elapse before the money dealers and speculative politicians in the City can he relieved from their anxiety respecting their Cortes' Bonds and the future destinies of Spain. In less than a week they will, however, know the result of the in ventive genius of Queen Christina's Minister, as well as the way in which he proposes to save the Throne of Isabella 11., without recurring to a new loan or in vading private property. On or about the 21st inst. the momentous plan, the valuable specific for the cure of Carlisin, and the sovereign panacea that is to heal the wounds of the State, was to be communicated to the expectant Proceres and Procuradores. Then it was that the cork was to be drawn, and the long bottled secret let out—that se cre t upon w hi c h so many calculations have been formed, and so many castles built up, the solidity of which can only be tested by time. In justice to M. Mendizabal (better known in the street of Juan de Andas, or the Monmouth street, of Cadiz, as Don Juan Alvarez Mendez, his real name), we must acknowledge that in a most eminent degree he possesses temper and discretion, at all times important qualities in a Minister, but more especially in one who, like Toreno, has an itching for Stock Exchange transactions. By the re presentatives of the Spanish people, assembled accord ing to the Estatuto Real, and excluding Navarre and the Biscayan provinces, he has been questioned, jibed, and jeered, without the secret having escaped his lips. He has resisted awful trials without being thrown off his guard. Although large sums. have been offered for the revelation of the powerful nostrums and numerous engines set to work, in the hope of discovering how it would operate, all efforts have been baffled. Much credit is also due to ~the petticoat Government of Madrich and it will no longer be questionable whether a-woman can keep a secret. This time, atleast, neither a Senor Munoz nor a Madame Theresita has been found disposed to let the cat ,out of the bag. Interest and curiosity h ave a like been unsuccessful, and it re mains to be seen whether it is by appropriating Ferdi nand the Seventh's hoarded wealth to the exigencies of the State, by selling the island of Cuba to the United States, or pawning it to sonic one else for two millions sterling, by transferring the prospective claims of Spain on the new South American Governments, or by raising the Passive into an Active Debt, that the Cerlists are to be put down. There is; however., a mode of accounting for this mystery pointed out in a letter of some political importance, written in the Spanish capital, and received by the last post. This letter states that the Mendizabal secret is known only to two foreigners, one of them the son of an eminent loan-contractor deeply interested in Christina's suc cess, and now in Madrid, and the other Lord Palmer ston. The writer adds, that the principal correspon dence on this momentous business comes under the cover of the British Minister at the Spanish Court, whereby a double advantage is coined. These letters are thus saved from falling into the hands of the Car lists, and all indiscretions which might be committed by members of the Queen's embas s y in London, besides, guarded against . The writ er goes so far as to assert that the• British Minister for foreign affairs must be deep in the secret, and also greatly interested in the success of the Mendizabal scheme, as he has sent over a notification to the effect that, if the secret is let out before the proper time appointed for its disclosure to the Chambers, lie will withdraw his patronage and support from its author. If this threat has really been made by our Foreign Secretary, we can 'no longer be astonished at the precautions adopted by the man who, under the guidance of his London friends, is destined j .r i t THE S 17N, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1836. to become the regenerator of Spain --the man who is to save the Throne of the innocent Isabella, and shield it fronythe further inroads of the rude Navarrese and Bis , cayans. As, however, British Government expresses travel fast, and we understand that relays of choice horses are already prepared on the roads from 'Madrid to Calais, the'anxious state of suspense in which many persons are kept cannot be prolonged beyond Friday or Saturday next, days big with the fate of hundreds, every appearance indicating that large sums will be then won and lost.--Morning Post. CHANCERY COURT.-SATURDAY. STIFFE V. EVERETT. This was a petition heard before his Lordship at the Rolls. The petition prayed that a sum of money—the life interest i❑ which was bequeathed to the wife of the peti tioner before her marriage, and assigned to him since the marriage—be now paid over to him absolutely, as a decla ration in the will against anticipation was imperative with respect to him. The matter stood over for some time in order that authorities might be searched for in support. of the principle ma,intained by the petitioner ; no authorities had, however, been produced, and his Lordship, in the ab sence of all authority, felt himself bound to refuse the appli cation for the payment of the money to the husband. EDWARD V. JONES. This was a bill filed to recover payment of two bonds as signed to the plaintiff by her aunt, Mrs. Custance, of Abe rystwith, a few days before her death. The Vice-Chan cellor dismissed the bill, and an appeal from that decision was argued a few days ago. The Lord Chancellor, under a careful examination of all the circumstances of the case, declared that the decision of the Vice-Chancellor was right on both the points brought before him, and that the appeal must be dismissed with costs. ROLLS COURT.-SATURDAY. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CULLUM'. This was an information filed against the trustees of certain charities in the town of Bury St. Edmund's, pray ing for an account, for an administration of the charity property, and for the restoration of certain estates, which it was alleged had been conveyed to several of the co trustees in exchange for estates of inferior value. It also prayed that new trustees might be appointed. The case had excited great .interest at Bury, but its details were dry, turning chiefly upon the evidence as to the value of the original charity estates, and of the estates received in exchange—Judgment reserved: KING'S BENCH.-SATURDAY. RE V. LANGHORNf In this case, which was not concluded when our paper went to press on Saturday, the Jury returned a verdict, making the rule absolute for entering judgment for the Crown. BAIL COURT. EXPARTE MARSH. The Court granted a rule to show cause why a. prohi bition should not issue to the Ecclesiastical Courts in a cause in which charges were made by a parishioner against the Rector of the parish of Rowdell, in Suffolk. RAMSAY V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. A Gentle;;;;behind the Bar, obtained a rule nisi this morning, calling on the Bishop of Exeter to show cause why he did not return certain sums now in his hands, in, coasequence of his Lordship sequestrating a living in his diocese in virtue of a writ of fieri facias, which had been directed to him some time to execute. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Take a rule to show cause. COMMON PLEAS-SATURDAY. DOE ON THE DEMISE OF MELBOURNE AND EDGAR. This was an ejectment tried at the last Summer Assizes at Bridgewater, before Mr. Justice Coleridge, in which th e Jury found for the plaintiff. Mr. Erle had obtained; a rule nisi to set aside the verdict and proceed to a new trial. Mr. Crowder showed cause against it this day and on Wednesday last; Mr. Erle having been beard in support of the rule, the rule was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Ellen Jones, a fine young woman, twenty-five years of age, was placed at the bar by the police, from whose state ment it appeared that she was found in a state of intoxica tion in the streets, and after being in the station-house about two hours she was discovered hanging by the neck. She was cut down before life was extinct, and conveyed to St. Giles's , workhouse, but so bent was she upon self-destruc tion, that the nurse, perceiving her black in the face, ran to her, and on examination found that she had tied her garters one end round her neck, and the other to the bedstead, and by great straining had nearly suffocated herself. Medical assistance was had recourse to, but her recovery was at tended with much difficulty. Between one and two in the morning, she tried for the third time to strangle herself, but her object was again frustrated. The prisoner in her defence stated that distress of mind had caused her to get intoxicated. She was seduced at the age of twenty under a promise of marriage, and on being deserted, her father refused her admittance under his roof. The course of life she bad since led made existence a bur den to her, and she determined upon destroying herself. Mr. LAING sent for one of the overseers, who undertook to take care of her, and watch her strictly, until she could be passed to her parish, or something else done for her. MARYLEB ONE. It will be remembered that on Monday the 11th James Wicks, a man about fifty years of age, and evidently in a dying stee from want of food, was brought to this office by the police, who found him wandering about at Padding ton, the overseers of the various parishes to whom he had applied having refused him relief. - By the interference of Mr. Rawlinson the wretched man was admitted into Pad dington workhouse, but only for a few hours, when h e was turned out, having received some slight refreshment. For some days he continued to drag on a miserable existence, and on Tuesday night was found by the Pollee in Coventry street. He was taken to the station-house, and from thence to St. Martin's workhouse, where he died. At the time of the inquest it was not known that the deceased was the identical man who had been brought to this office, and was afterwards turned out of Paddington workhouse; and Mr. Howard, of St. Martin's-court, the foreman, and several of his brother Jurors, waited upon the Magistrates to ascer tain if such were the fact. On satisfying themselves upon the subject, Mr. Howard animadverted in strong terms upon the cruel and harsh proceedings adopted by.tbe paro chial authorities under the sanction of the New Poor Law Bill, and after expressing a hope that ere long Ma gistrates would again have the power to compel parish offi cers to relieve distressed objects, he and his brother Jurymen left the office. TO WN- HALL. Byers, the informer, happened to be in the Justice Room for the purpose Allying some informations against coach proprietors. Sir P. LAURIE—I have heard a good, deal about Byers, but never saw him. Is he here ? Byers—Yes, Sir, lam here. Sir P. LAURIE—I have read much about you in the newspapers, but never saw you before. Sir Peter inquired of him why he did not direct his attention to laying informa tions against the owners of dog-carts ? Byers said there was no law upon the subject under. which inform . ation could be given against the owners of dog-carts, unless it was for cruelty, under Mr. Martin's Act. Sir PETER LAURIE expressed his opinion that informers were as necessary as Acts of Parliament ; and be would always cn.:ourage them when their informations were sup• ported by credible testimony, and those making them did not enter into any compromise. He stated that he hoped some enactment would be made upon the subject next ses sion of Parliament. Byers said if such was the case be would watch them carefully. AL ARMING FIRES. Considerable excitement prevailed last night, about half past ten o'clock, in consequence of a fire breaking out in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Irish, grocer, No. 11, Cherry Garden-street, Bermondsey, which for some ti m e threatened the most alarming consequences. Fortunately at the time there was a plentiful supply of water, and by the assistance of the police, the firemen succeeded in confin ing the flames to the back part of the premises. On Saturday morning, shortly after four o'clock, the greatest alarm prevailed for the lives of the family of Mr. Stoles, architect and surveyor, of No. 11, Argyll -st reet Regent-street, by a fire breaking out in one of the bed rooms on the second floor. The fire made a frightful pro gress for a short time, but information having been given to the County and London Establishment engine stations, the firemen hastily repaired to Mr. Scole's assistance, an d in less than an ho ur the fire was extin gu i s hed : The damageoccasioned by the catas tro p h e very great, and, unfort7i nately, the prOperty was not insured. How it originated is not known. Late on Friday evening the family of Mr. S tevens, plumber and glazier, Kennington-lair, was th rown " i nto great alarm by the discovery of afire in the back room on the first floor, and such was the impetuous fury of th e de structive element before the arrival o f the engines, that the whole of the furniture was consumed. However, through the assistance affoided by the neighbours and police, the damage was confined to the room where the fire br o k e out . Mr. Stevens is insured in the Imperial Fire Office, CAMBRIDGE CORPORATION DINNER. (Concluded from The Sun of Saturday.) The health of the Mayor having been drank with the utmost cordiality, The Wonsmrrur. GENTLEMAN cordially thanked them for the honour they bad done him, and in conclusion begged to propose, " The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge." Dr. LAMB (the Master of Christ College), who enjoys the proud distinction of being the only Liberal Master in the University, on rising to return i:hanks, was received with the utmost enthugiasm. In the name of the Vice-Chancellor and Masters of the University, he begged to return thanks for the toast just drank. The Memb.; rs of the University could not be indifferent spectators of the events which had lately taken place in the borough ; for town and gown were so closely united in interest, that nothing of good or evil could befal the one without having a material influ ence oa the other. The connection between them, like that between man and wife, was inseparable. Live toge ther they must ; if affectionately and in harmony the result would be mutual welfare and happiness ; if they gave way to bickerings and peevishness they might greatly annoy and injure each other, without plea sure or benefit to either.—(Cheers.) The University pos sessed many powers and privileges—many of which were still necessary to its efficient maintenance, and to the advantage, also, of the town ; but there were many others which, granted at a time when society was very differently constituted than at present, had now by the lapse of ages become •obsolete and unnecessary.—(Loud cheers.) In the rude ages of our forefathers it was neces sary to fence and protect this scat of learning from the as saults of an ignorant and too often furious populace. In the reign of Edward 111. the Mayor of this town, at the head of the burgesses, absolutely stormed the college to which he (Dr. Lamb) had the honour to belong, and against which they had a particular pique ; they broke open the gates, assaulted the Master and Fellows, and destroyed property to a great amount, and" No one knows," says the historian," to what lengths this mad rabble might have gone, had not Henry Spencer, the warlike Bishop of Nor wich, casually arrived with some of his forces and checked them." It was upon this occasion that the town forfeited nearly all their privileges, and the King conferred many of them upon the University. With the change of circum stances, he would repeat, many of the University's rights and privileges had become obsolete, and might advantage ously for both town and gown be given up. The Rev. G. A. BROWNE said, there was no member of any county or borough in the empire who could select for himself a better pattern for his guide than the conduct of Lord Francis Osborne during the whole of his Parliamen tary career.—(Cheers.) He truly regretted the melan choly occurrence which had deprived them of the presence of that noble individual upon the present festive occasion. He begged most heartily to propose his Lordship's health. Drank with much applause. The next toast was, " The Representatives for the bo rough, the-Right Hon. Spring Rice, Chancellor the Exche quer, and Mr. Pryme."—Drank with three times three. Mr. RICE would not detain them further than to again express his most sincere thanks for the honour which had been done himself and. his colleague —a colleague whom it was his pride and pleasure to act with.—(Cheers.) Mr. PRYMR begged to propose" The healths of the new Town Council of Cambridge," —men well worthy of the confidence which a long knowledge of their characters had justified their fellow-townsmen in extending to them. Mr. HUMFREY briefly returned' thanks. The MAYOR. then proposed " The health of the tried and excellent representative for the county, Mr. Townley." That Gentleman returned thanks in a short address. The MAYOR again rose for the purpose of proposing a health, which he was confident would be cordially received, that of their distinguished guest, " Mr. Alston, M.P. for Hertfordshire, and the Reformers of that county in ge neral."—(Cheers.) Mr. ALSTON, on rising to return thanks, was received with the warmest cordiality. He could safely say, that he had been a Reformer, that was to say, one who zealously and constantly advocated those principles which led to the establishment of the rights and privileges of the people— from his earliest years : and it was his pride to_assert, that ever since he had been chosen by the independent suffrages of the electors of Hertfordshire, as their represent&ive,he had striven to do his duty towards them and towards his country. He would venture to assert that no Government ever existed, who, to the fullest possible extent, had re deemed everything which they had led the country to ex pect at their hands.—(Cheers.) Whatever they had pro mised to undertake they had undertaken, and had carried out to the utmost of their power.---(Cheers.) It was most gratifying to him thus to assist at one of the fruits of that great Municipal Reform Bill to which he had throughout lent his warmest support. The result of that measure, as exhibited in the glorious event which the meeting was now celebrating, fully justified him in the course which he had adopted, and he sincerely rejoiced that he had so acted. The MAYOR then proposed the health of the Hon. Mr. Keppell, the worthy son of a worthy sire. —(Drank with cheers.) Mr. SPRING RICE then said, that as he had been called upon by the Worshipful Chairman for the next toast, he would show himself to be a dutiful citizen by prompt obe dience.—(Laughter.) They would readily anticipate his toast—it was one which came home to the hearts of every one in that room—" The Ladies"—(Cheers)—for though they mingled not in the more fierce strife of politics, let it not be thought that either the mothers, wives, or daughters of Englishmen were indifferent to the public character of their relatives, for they esteemed public worth as an evi dence of private virtue, and being a good citizen was the best recommendation to the women of England. The Hon. Member concluded by proposing " The Ladies," amidst much' applause.- Mr. ALSTON proposed the healths of three old and tried Reformers, " Messrs. King, Fordham, and Gunning."— (Enthusiastic cheers.) Mr. GUNNING returned thanks. Dr. LAMB then proposed " Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World." Mr. WEDD, in speaking to the toast, dilated on the in calculable advantages which the whole country had derived from the Bill under which they were assembled ; without municipal reform, civil and religious liberty would never have been effectually carried out. Previous to the Bill, the whole power in Cambridge—a town containing 29,000 in habitants—was usurped by a few self-elected, irresponsible individuals ; while others in the town, of pretty equal pro perty and greater intelligence, were denied all share in the administration of its affairs. How glorious was the contrast which now offered itself, in the existence of a corporation consisting of men chosen by their fellow-townsmen for their integrity and ability, and responsible for the proper adminis tration of their duties.—(Cheers.) Cambridge indeed might be looked upon as peculiarly fortunate, not only in its re presentatives in the corporation, but in its representatives in Parliament.—(Cheers.) Professor MUSGRAVE proposed the next toast, " The Independent Burgesses of CaMbridge."---(Long . continued applause.) Mr. EBENEZER FOSTER, in the name of that body, ex pressed his warmest thanks for the honour thus done them. For years and years himself and the other Reformers of Cambridge had been struggling to infuse some portion of good sound principles into the proceedings of the late Cor porate body, but had totally failed in the endeavour. These services were appreciated by the independent burgesses of the town, who returned the whole of the present Town Council by votes unbought and unbiassed.—(Cheers.) To the astonishment of the wlible Tory party, be might say, throughout England, the Reformers of Cambridge bad suc ceeded, in spite of the most energetic exertions on the other side, in returning the whole of the thirty Town Councillors out of their own party. The next toast, proposed by Mr. SKRINE, was, " The Gentlemen of the Legal Profession who have given their gratuitous services to the Reform cause, both in town and country. Mr. F. GUNNING returned thanks. Mr. IL GUNNING proposed " The District Associa tions," which having been warmly received, the meeting separated. SATURDAY.—BURGESS DINNER. A second dinner was this day given in the Town Hall, by the Burgesses of Cambridge, in celebration of the same glorious event which had called together the guests of the preceding day. The venerable and estimable Mayor pre sided, supported on his right by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and on his left by Mr. Pryme. Among the other gentlemen present we noticed Professor Henslow, Mr. Burcham, Mr. Foster, sen. , Mr. Foster, jun., &c. The number of guests was considerably above 250. The cloth being removed, the usual toasts were drank in the customary form—that of " The Queen" was met with partial disapprobation. The MAYOR, in a brief address, proposed " The health of their two excellent Representatives in Parliament." Mr. S. RICE said they had now assembled together to celebrate the success of those principles which the Liberal party throughout this empire had long advocated. It was a proud reflection that, whatever the difficulties and ob stacles which had stood between them and the possession of those just rights which the Constitution under which they lived, when rightly interpreted, entitled them to, the force of that public opinion which predominates over all things in this country, had accomplished for them by legitimate means.—(Hear.) Let them not heed those, who reviled t h em , who .asserted that the measures which they had adopted of late years, were foreign to the Constitution of England, and tended to indispose the minds of its sons to love and reverence that Constitution. If that Constitu tion had opposed itself to the rightly understood rights, privileges, and happiness of the people ; then, indeed, there might have existed an indisposition to the Constitution which might lead to the results spoken of. But the people of England had fought and conquered by the power of the Constitution : the weapons employed were those which the Constitution furnisbed.—(Cheers.) There was not a man amongst them—not a single burgess, who had acquired his right —not a single 10/. householder who had acquired his franchise, who did not love and reverence the Constitution which gave him those all-important privileges.—(Cheers.) It was not the Constitution of England which kept the peo pla of Cambridge under the domination of a self-elected corporation, but a misapplication of that Constitution ; and when they, the old Reformers ofthe land—who succeeded to the great name of their political leader—to the name of Mr. Fox—(Cheers)—and who, under baimera bearing that illustrious name, fought the battles of the people of Eng land, they did not go in quest of unmeaning novelties—they did not seek to overthrow the Constitution of England ; but, in the name of that Constitution, they struggled to wrest from the hands of the spoiler those rights and ad vantages which he had usurped, and to give them back to the people, who ought never for an instant to have been deprived of them.—(Cheers.) The word had gone forth— the Legislature had pronounced to the people, " You are free : the united voice of the King, the Lords, and the Commons of England has relieved you from your thral dom ! "—(Cheers.) The Refornier3 of Great Britain were neither JacObini, nor Destructives, nor Republicans : no, all they wanted was to tread in the path which their ancesters trod before them : all they claimed were those liberties which their ancestors had never shrunk from as serting.—(Cheers.) They were resolved to have those rights ; they were resolved t o d eserve t h em ; for the great point, after all, was not the mere 'possession of power, but the uses_to which it can be turned.—(Cheers.) The character of the recent elections under the new Municipal Bill in Cambridge, and very many other places was such as did double honour to the triumph which had been ob tained.—(Cheers.) The principle of improvement was very foreign to and very different from that of revolution. When there were in the community classes of men like those whom he had the honour of addressing, men who had proved themselves deserving of the possession of power, danger to the constitution consisted, not in their admission to poli tical power, but in their exclusion from it.—(Loud cheers.) They had recently had the privilege of using a great poli tical power, and from all he could learn of the elections, the whole empire might most advantageously take the bur geSses of Cambridge as a bright example of good sense, sound judgment, and disinterested patriotism.—(Cheers.) Whatever injuries and insults they might have experienced from their predecessors in office, the best and most dignified course they could adopt would be to make no reprisals, to ratify none of the animosities of the past, but let them act so as not only to sh ew th e i r su p er i or cl a ims to public integrity and utility over their late opponents, but also give them an example of private benevolence and forbearance.s--:- (Cheers.) Let them, in reference to their predecessors, seperate the man from the system—(Hear, hear)—and let them charitably suggest to their own minds, that per haps had they, under the same circumstances, been ex posed to the same temptation, their virtue might, in the frailty of human nature, have sunk under it. Their indig nation was justly entertained, but it was more against the system than against individuals. The system happily was overthrown, and for ever. : let then the individuals be once more looked upon in the light simply of fellow townsmen, whose interests are to be guarded with the same care and jealousy as those of any other individuals. The Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded to express his high gratification at the continued confidence which his enlightened and in dependent constituency honoured him with. Another great advantage which he enjoyed in his Parliamentary capacity was in having for a colleague his old and valued friend, Professor Pryme—(Cheers) in whom it was his pride ever to find a warm and most disinterested supporter. The borough of Cambridge in its representatives had at least this advantage, that the one was never found neutra lizing the votes of the other, as was in but too many places the case ; one saying aye, and the other no, or, as it were, walking in and out like the figures in a Dutch weather house, where both are never seen together.—(Laughter.) Four eventful elections had given him an opportunity of becoming personally acquainted with almost every indi vidual in the borough, and it was his gratification to have reason to believe that in every one of the electors who voted for him he had a personal friend.—(Cheers.) He once more returned the assembly his sincere thanks.— (Loud cheers.) Mr. PirratE congratulated the meeting upon their return to the old principles of the Constitution, by which house holders, the rated inhabitants, had become the electors of a responsible Corporation. This change was besides very valuable, as it gave men a notion of affairs beyond merely local ones; and it was by the diffusion of this species of po litical knowledge, and the understanding its due application, that the full reform of every abuse mainly depended. Mr. SPRING Rice proposed the health of the veteran Reformer, the Mayor.—(Drunk with loud cheers.) The MAYOR returned thanks, and concluded by proposing " The Town Council." Mr. E. FOSTER returned thanks. Mr. BURCHAM proposed " The health of his Majesty's Ministers," which was drank with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. SPRING RICE, in the name of his colleagues and of himself, returned their most heartfelt thanks for the distin guished honour thus done them. Their sole desire was faithfully to serve the Crown. In countries differing from ours these words often implied, awfully implied, a sep ara ti on of duty between the adviser of the Sovereign and the f r i en d of the people. But in a country like ours no such opposi tion of interests was to be feared.—(Cheers.) The p eo pl e loved their King, :and he was tititled to say, because he knew it, that the King loved his people.—(Cheers.) I n the solution of this question, therefore, there was no dis turbing- force. A British Minister was a safe Minister to his Sovereign by being in the confidence of the people ; and the representative of the people was no less truly so from being in the confidence of the Crown.—(Cheers.) The po litical party to whom they were opposed had generally en deavoured to make some separation of interest in these ob jects, and had assumed that he who served the Crown was not likely to be acceptable to the people, and this in fact was one of the arguments against the Reform Bill. Close boroughs, said they, are the only feasible things ; but he (Mr. Rice) was proud and grateful that the electors of Cambridge had in his person shown that a Minister of the Crown need not sneak into office through the miserable and dirty opening of a close borough.—(Cheers.) N . - o, not even inauspicious shape he presented himself to them in the shape of a taxing animal—(Laughter)— he had ever found himself most cordially welcomed ; nor though it w as hi s paid duty to tax many of the good things of which they had partaken, was he made a less welcome guest amon g them.—(Cheers.) To promote the good of the people, and faithfully to serve the Sovereign, were the present Ministry' s only object in taking office ; and they were ready to res 4. their offices whenever that object could no longer be satin tisfied ; and they should descend as they had risen, with tl l full hope and expectation in whatever ‘ position they we r e placed, whether on one side of the House or the other, th a e still, if they had acted rightly, the favour of the p eo pl e o t England would go with them. Without further detainin„ them, he would propose " The health of th e i r t a l en t e d an7 - \` . amiable guest, Professor Henslow." Drunk with enthusiasm The excellent Gentleman in question returned thanks in. a very brief but nervous speech. He warned the burgesses to be ever on their guard against the insidious attempts of their political opponents, who were ever on the watch to avail themselves of opportunities for mischief. Several other toasts were given and acknowledged by the Messrs. Gunning, Foster, jun., and Peters. The co n viviality of the meeting was kept up to a lato hour. From Bombay we learn that the fears of the failure of rice and other crops had been relieved by the falls of rain. TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION—SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED AND WOUNDED.—Between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock on Thursday night, the neighbourhood of Islington and Ball's Pond was thrown into a state of the ut most consternation and alarm by a loud reporkwhich shook the houses to their very foundations, and roused the inha bitants from their sleep, numbers of whom instantly rushed into the streets, believing it to have been the shock of an earthquake. In a short time, however, it was discovered that the report had been caused by the explosion of the boiler of a steam-engine, recently erected in the new cattle market in the Lower-road (belonging to Mr. Perkins, of Bletchingly, Surrey), for the purpose of cutting the iron rods used in the erection of sheep pens. On entering the grounds a melancholy spectacle presented itself ; the engine and the building in which it was erected having been blown to atoms, and the fragments scattered all over the market. On the right of the spot where the boiler had stood, the body of ono of the men employed in cutting the iron, named Robert Spinden, was found, frightfully disfigured, and, not far from it, the body of another man, named George Smith, was also found, both of them quite dead. On a further search, Thomas Gellish, the foreman of the works, was dis covered, about fifty yards distant, in a contrary direction, lying on his back in a state of insensibility, and near him two more of the men lying on their faces, the whole of whom had received most severe injuries. Gellish, cn his recovering his senses, stated that he was standing near. the boiler when the explosion took place, by the force of which he was blown the above distance. Conveyann4 were im mediately procured, and the three unfortunate sufferers, who were still alive, convoyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital , where, on examination, it was discovered that Gellish's collar-bone was most dreadfully broken, and that the wbnla of them were so severely scalded over all their hiAies that little hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery. A strong party of the N division of police were in prompt attendance, and rendered very efficient assistance in keeping back the crowd, • SHIPPING IN TELLIGENCE.
